Blessings

May your journey be as long as your heart's desires
May your will stay strong and your body ne'er tire
May your heart be willing when e'er your love is near
May your courage stand taller than all of your fears

May your hopes outlive whatever are your doubts
May your friends be kind and their hearts always stout
May your teachers be many and your masters be none
May your battles end in peace, no matter who's won

May your tastes be wide and your appetites wise
May your races be swift and always end in a prize
May your choices be clear and your judgments be fair
May your world be filled with compassion and care

Most of all, may your heart be always filled with gratitude
For you'll only know of these blessings, with the right attitude
